The Annual Report Reviews the
Trouble With the Government.
Boston, Mass. March 2S.-In the an
nual report of the Union Pacific Railroad
company the relations of the road with the
government are reviewed and the failure of
congress to reach more definite conclusions
in regard to the relations of the company is
designated as obviously only in a degree
less injurious than positive hostile action.
The waiting policy forced upon the direct
OTIS by the government since 1884 has been
a constant menace to the interests of the
road. The necessity of the development
md extension Of that system into various
sections of the west is fully outlined and it
shown in the report that though the field
Of development was continually extending.
the government. through the non-action of
congress, has for years stood in the way of
every proposed development. 1t has
heretofore become apparent to the direct
ors that this waiting policy can no longer
be pursued with safety. If the Union Pa
cItic does not provide the country adjacent
to its line with the developments it requires
other companies will. Not to provide it
leans ultimate destruction to the com.
any's interests. II is necessary, therefore,
adopt new and more positive policy.

ard some proposal for settlement. The
;ropoSal also must be one which shall gen.
orally commend itself by manifest irmness
and liberality. Congress having failed to
act, the directors propose to meet the conf
missioners appointed with a definite pro-
posal for the readiustment of financial re-
lations which shall be final, the first pro-
posal of the kind which has emanated from

road which shall hereafter mature, accom-
panied by a plan for the gradual reduction
and ultimate payment in full of the princ-
pal of the debt.
The balance applicable to dividends was
IS, T45, 1853, or over six per cent. of the
capital stock as compared with four per
cent i'll 1885. Although the net savings
were decreased S692, 200. the revenue from
investments and miscellaneous sources has
increased to such an extent that the balance
that may be applied in the payment of
dividends is S1.275, 600.
The directors will ask the government to
put the company in position to meet the
liabilities it thus offers to incur by allowing
it to stal on an equal footing with its
competitors who have the power to coli
struct lines, to lease properties, to consoli-
date other properties with their own and

ANTIGONrSH, N. s., March 23.--An at
tempted bank robbery and murder here
Saturday was one of the most daring acts in
the criminal annals of Canada. The offender
is said to have been the principal In d bank

to Nova Scotia. He is Stanley Steele, of Guys

in appearance and of excellent address. He
came to Antigonish Friday afternoon, and
registered at the Central house, directly OPP
poste the Merchants bank agency and went
at once to his room. Saturday after
noon he went to the station and
made particular inquiries about the
departure of trains and then
called ut the bank and made some inquiries
about cashing draft. Manager Harris went
to dlnuer at noon, leaving Teller Currier and
Il boy in the bark. AT 1880 o'clock Steele
entered the bank and said he would like TO
see the teller in the private Office. They re-
tired TO the room, Steele closing the door be-

pointing one at Curriers' head and the other
at his heart, called on him to throw up his
hands. Currier is 26 years old, six feet tall
and u strong, wiry fellow. He threw up his
hands, and in doing 80 sprang on his assail-
ant. AT the same instant Steele fired and
bullet struck Currier in the forehead. life

Steele covered him with his revolver, and the
boy ran out into the barking room, jumped
the counter and ran into an adjoining build
ing for assistance. A score of men rushed to
the rescue and Steele was secured. He was
told that
CURRIER WAS DEAD
and received the news with the utmost CON-
posture. He said that the first shot, which en-
tered Curriers' head, was fired by accident,
but when it became q matter of life and death

original object was to frighten Carrier into
silence by revolvers, and he was greatly sur
prised at his resistance. He thought to kill
Currier, choke the boy, take money, rush to
the street and get away on the train which
| would leave in few minutes. The bullet has
been extracted from Curriers' head, but he
will die. Had Steele succeeded in his desper-
ate attempt he would have secured 100000.

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES.

Why the Mission of the Bloody Shirt Is
Ended Forever and Forever.
One significant feature of the recent
discussion concerning the rebel flag
matter was the total absence of any i'll
feeling on the part of the South. The
time was when the Republican bosses
could produce political capital very
readily simply by irritating few
Southern editors, and then infame the
Northern heart by repeating their lily
considered utterances. This time has
passed. and one reason why the South
will not be drawn into sectional con-
troversies with Republican agitators
is that it is too busy building up new
industries and increasing the general
business of that section of the country.
A very recent review of the industrial
growth of the South demonstrates that
the people have been earnestly at work
within the last two decades, and that
the fruits of this earnest work have
been most marked during the last six
months of the present year. The
Manufacturers Record, published in
Baltimore, gives the following encour-
aging figures:
